Some of the anti-Israel protests taking place at U.S. college campuses, including the recent demonstrations at Columbia University, have been supported by organizations that traveled to communist Cuba to receive resistance training, an ADN investigation has uncovered. ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to...

The famous DataRepublican data analyst dropped damaging information she had gathered about Code Pink's connections to the communist Chinese government after the group threatened legal action against her. The database kernel engineer, whose real name is Jennica Pounds, said Wednesday on social media that the group sent her a message accusing her of libel. "We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK," the group reportedly wrote. "These claims — which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any...

Republican lawmakers are slamming the Trump administration’s decision to halt some U.S. missile and munitions shipments to Ukraine, warning it risks emboldening Russia at a pivotal point in the war.Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, said he would be “aggressively looking into this matter” following the White House’s acknowledgment that the Pentagon froze deliveries of critical air defense weapons due to concerns over shrinking U.S. stockpiles.“We must build up our own defense industrial base here in the U.S. while simultaneously providing the needed assistance to our allies who are defending their freedom from a brutal invading...

What do you think of that?” a reporter asked President Trump after he touched down in New Jersey.Trump warned Lindsey Graham and Pompeo to be careful about what they say.“People have to be very careful with what they say. Their mouth could get them into a lot of trouble.”As TGP recently reported, Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 117 drones were...

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., filed a House resolution Tuesday looking to block U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict between Iran and Israel. Massie's resolution features numerous Democrat co-sponsors, including progressive legislators like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y.; Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. If passed, the resolution would block President Donald Trump from engaging in "unauthorized hostilities" with Iran.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a resolution Monday seeking to prevent the U.S. from getting involved in a military conflict with Iran without congressional approval. The resolution reaffirms existing law, directing the president to end any use of the U.S. armed forces “for hostilities” against Iran “unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.” The resolution expresses concern about the potential for U.S. involvement in the escalating military crisis between Iran and Israel, but it specifies that the U.S. can still defend itself “from imminent attack.” “It is not in...

Republican senators came out firing during Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s hearing on Wednesday before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on armed forces. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) immediately pressed Hegseth over the Russia-Ukraine war, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) driving home the point later in the hearing; Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the top Senate appropriator, scolded the Pentagon’s delays with budget information; and Sen. Lisa Murkowski closed out the hearing by questioning the administration’s focus on Greenland in its Arctic strategy. McConnell, one of three Republicans who opposed Hegseth’s confirmation, gaveled in the hearing by calling out the Trump administration for what...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) praised Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russia, calling its government and armed forces “ever-resourceful” while warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for more war. “The ever-resourceful Ukraine used creative drone warfare tactics to successfully attack Russian bombers and military assets used to kill Ukrainian citizens and destroy their country,” Graham said on the social platform X on Sunday reacting to the Ukraine attack. Ukraine hit Russian bases across the vast country in the recent attack, including in the regions of Irkutsk and Amur, which are thousands of miles from the Russian-Ukraine border. The attack...

Mike Pence may be despised by his own supporters, but it appears he has many admirers in left-wing circles. The former vice-president, who betrayed President Trump and the entire MAGA movement by refusing to challenge the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential results, collected the “John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award” on Sunday evening as recognition of his actions. Addressing the liberal audience, Pence described January 6th as a “tragic day” and took thinly veiled shots at the Trump administration. “Our institutions held that day, not because of any one person, but because leaders in both political parties,...

BOSTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday will receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his refusal to go along with President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election...

Pence will receive the award at the JFK Library in Boston.

@RandPaul Tune in now - I’ll be live on the Senate floor soon talking trade and tax policy.

"GOP Sen. Rand Paul says he expects to have enough votes in Senate to pass resolution to effectively block Trump’s tariffs. But Paul, who expects the vote Wednesday, attacked Speaker Johnson’s move to block such resolutions as “dishonesty.”" *** The background to this, via Politico: The White House warned that Trump will veto a bipartisan Senate resolution that would terminate his sweeping global “Liberation Day” tariffs. The statement of administration policy from the Office of Management and Budget, sent to congressional offices Monday, comes ahead of an expected vote this week forced by several Democrats led by Sen. Ron Wyden...

As Russia continues its warfare against Ukraine, one outspoken Republican senator is encouraging President Donald Trump to put Russian President Vladimir Putin in his place. "Putin has reneged on every promise that he has made to President Trump. His latest proposal is, well, nothing. He wants to keep all the territory that he's taken," Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said on the latest installment of "Fox News Sunday." "He wants to prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO, and he wants America and Europe to stop helping Ukraine," he added. "I think that Putin thinks that America has taken the bullet train to...

Democrat Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona visited Ukraine this weekend, trying to undermine President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the devastating war launched by Russia in 2022 during Joe Biden’s presidency. Kelly’s trip comes just days before Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet with Ukrainian officials on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia. (Update: Conflicting reports on whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is in Saudi Arabia on Monday, will stay for the meetings. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will also be in Saudi Arabia meetings.) Amazingly, in a statement on his visit to...

The U.S. cannot cut off aid to Ukraine while it fights against Russia, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on March 9. The U.S. froze intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine soon after a heated argument broke out between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Feb. 28. U.S. officials have suggested the pause is "temporary," without indicating when aid will resume. "If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it'd be worse than Afghanistan. I don't think (Trump) has any desire to do that," Graham said in a television interview on March 9. Until...
